Mama's couch potatoes
Now I know my cats are weird!
I swear on my mother's dentures that I shut off the idiot box before going to work today. We were watching CNN. I shut it off and tossed the remote on the loveseat. When Louie came home the TV was on, and set to CNBC. I NEVER watch CNBC, aka the Stockbroker Channel. I get dizzy watching all those runners at the bottom with the funny numbers and letters that stockbrokers like to look up in the Wall Street Journal. Who, then? Stosh would watch something like the NFL Network, Spike, or whatever channel is showing "professional" wrestling. Odessa would watch sensitive programs on Lifetime or Hallmark. Brandy... now what channel would a little tomboy like her watch? ESPN, or sit with Stosh watching WWE Raw? This leaves Roxie, who has been from the start the brainiest of the bunch. I never thought our little Buddhist would turn to programs of the material. But then, she was fast asleep by the time Louie got home. Maybe all that talk bored the heck out of her and she meditated herself to sleep. I hope. I am scared now of what those kids can do with a remote, and hope they never, EVER discover the concept of Pay-Per-View or I'll find some Jerry Springer mess on my cable bill. Blessed be, Baha -- Three thousand years ago, cats were deified in ancient Egypt. To this day, they have not forgotten. |

Just be grateful they weren't watching the Shopping Network - now that phones are push-button and answering services work by pressing the number you want, you could have ended up owing Dr.s Foster and Smith thousands! ; Hugs, CatNipped Blessed be, Baha -- Three thousand years ago, cats were deified in ancient Egypt.

I get dizzy watching all those runners at the bottom with the funny numbers and letters that stockbrokers like to look up in the Wall Street Journal. They have a financial commentator named Ron Insana. Now look carefully at that last name. Would you trust someone named INSANA with your finances? Who, then? Stosh would watch something like the NFL Network, Spike, or whatever channel is showing "professional" wrestling. Odessa would watch sensitive programs on Lifetime or Hallmark.

Maybe she'll make a stock market killing. That is, if she wasn't watching Mr. INSANA. :P Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com |

Actually he was very nice, didn't charge me an arm and a leg for his services but the name always made me chuckle. There used to be an insurance agent in town who would advertise on the back of the benches at bus-stops (it was 30 years ago) and his name was George I. Hurt. We used to laugh our behinds off. "George! I HURT!" Didn't take much to amuse us teenagers. There was no such thing as a Game-Boy back then.
